Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letters of February 2,1987, and February 6,1987, in
response to our letter dated December 22, 1986.. As a result of our review, we
find we are in need of additional information with respect to Item F.3 in the
Notice of Violation (NOV) and Items B.2 and C in the Notice of Deviation
(N0D).
NOV Item F.3: Your response was applicable to the use of "non-standard" forms
only. The violation applied equally to the current and previous " standard"
.
forms used to request fabricated items.
Please provide the previously
'
requested information concerning both current and previously used " standard"
forms.

NOV Item B.2: Your response did not provide the " Reason for Deviation"
l
regarding the overview inspectors failure to compare results and identify
apparent inconsistencies, nor did paragraph 2, " Corrective Steps Taken and
Results Achieved," describe those corrective steps taken with respect to the
overview inspectors failure to identify these same discrepancies. Please
provide this information.
N0D Item C:
Your response indicates that a deviation does not exist relative
I
to the identification that an electrical inspector's recertification to
CP-QP-11.3 did not specify the activities or restrictions which were
applicable to the recertification.
NRC review of a form entitled, "CPSES
Level II Certification Listing All Applicable CP-QP-11.3 Procedures," for the
inspector in question showed that the form was incomplete with respect to
specifically denoting those procedures to which the inspector was certified
or restricted from. Accordingly, please provide the previously requested
information.

Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as implemented by Section 5.0, Revision 3, dated July 31, 1984, of the TUGC0 Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by and accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures,
or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Section 3.2 of Brown & Root (B&R) Procedure CP-CPM 6.3, Revision 11, requires the person completing an operation on a traveler to sign or , ! initial "... at the completion of each operation and prior to moving parts or assemblies to the next scheduled operation." - Contrary to the above, travelers for conduit and junction box supports in i the Unit 2 reactor building and safeguards building were routinely left
unsigned until an entire conduit run was completed. Travelers were being signed during a " final walkdown" prior to QC inspection, with the person , signing the traveler not necessarily the same person who performed the operation. (446/8612-V-01). RESPONSE TO ITEM A . (446/8612-V-01) We admit to the violation and the requested information follows: i 1. Reason for Violation ! The Violation resulted from inadequate requirements specified in Section 3.2 of CP-CPM 6.3, " Preparation, Approval and Control of Operation Travelers." The intent of this section has always been to allow i construction personnel to sign for completion of operations at any time j after completion of the work. However, CP-CPM 6.3 did not accurately 1 j reflect this intent. 2. Corrective Steos Taken and Results Achieved Since the practice of deferring traveler sign-offs until final walkdown provides the necessary verification of design and installation ,
requirements, no corrective actions are required for existing l documentation or installations. 3. Corrective Steos Which Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations ! Revision 12 to CP-CPM 6.3 was issued July 14, 1986. This revision clearly j allows craft personnel to sign or initial the traveler after completion of i the work provided the operation is of such a nature that post-construction ! verification is possible. Training of appropriate construction personnel
was completed July 23, 1986, for Revision 12 to CP-CPM 6.3 4. Date When Full Comoliance Will Be Achieved ! Full compliance was achieved July 23, 1986.

Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as implemented by Section 5.0, Revision 3, dated July 31, 1984, of the TUGC0 QAP, requires that l activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by and accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. Paragraph 3.1.4.1 of B&R Procedure CEI-20, Revision 9, requires Hilti anchor bolts to be set by the use of a torque wrench at the time of installation. Contrary to the above, Hilti bolts on conduit and junction box supports in the Unit 2 reactor building and safeguards building were being installed using an ordinary ratchet wrench. Torquing of these bolts was usually performed only on a " final walkdown" by craftpersons prior to QC inspection. (446/8612-V-02) RESPONSE TO ITEM B (446/8612-V-02) i We admit to the violation and the requested information follows: ~ 1. Reason for Violation The violation was the result of a misunderstanding on the part of construction personnel regarding the requirements for bolt setting specified in CEI-20, " Installation of 'Hilti' Drilled-in Bolts." The initial tightening of Hilti bolts during installation was not considered as " setting" by some construction personnel. They believed that bolt setting, to the minimum torque values specified in CEI-20, was to be accomplished during final fixture installation and/or walkdown. 2. Corrective Steos Taken and Results Achieved Since construction personnel used torque wrenches to verify the final installation, undertorquing of the Hilti bolts is not an issue. We have performed an engineering evaluation of the potential effects of overtorquing the Hitti bolts. As documented in memo NE-1297, the evaluation indicates that application of torques in excess of those required to set the bolt, using non-calibrated wrenches, would have no impact on the ability of the anchor to meet its design requirements. The 4' evaluation also indicates that, in the unlikely case where extreme overtorquing occurred, the effects would be apparent and would result in Quality Control rejection of the installation. For the above reasons we believe that no corrective actions are required for existing installations. . . , . _ . - . . . , _ _ - - , _ . .

ITEM C (446/8612-V-03) l I C. Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as implemented by Section 3.0, Revision 3, dated July 31, 1984 of the TUGC0 QAP, requires in part,
j that measures must be established to assure that applicable regulatory i requirements and design basis, as defined in Part 50.2 and as specified in ! the license application, for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies, are correctly translated into specifications, i i drawings, procedures, and instructions.- The design control measures must l provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the ' ' performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. In addition, design changes, including field changes, must be
subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the j original design. Section 1.6 of Appendix B to Gibbs & Hill (G&H) Specification 2323-ES-100 , ! Revision 2, and Section 3.6.1 of B&R Procedure ECP-19A, Revision 2, both ) require NEMA Type 4 enclosures in the reactor building. , , - Contrary to the above, enclosures are installed in the Unit 2 reactor
i building which have been modified. The modifications occurred with no ! design control and without verification that the modified enclosures meet
the design requirements. (446/8612-V-03) RESPONSE TO ITEM C (446/8612-V-03) i We admit to the violation and the requested information follows: 1. Reason for Violation The violation was caused by improper implementation of a design change by both engineering and construction personnel in that; 1) engineering personnel directed a design change via an NCR and verbal instructions, and 2) construction personnel accepted the NCR and verbal instructions as j sufficient authorization to perform work without the design change and j subsequent design authorization.

Section 2.20.5 of G&H Specification 2323-ES-100, Revision 2, and Section i 3.6.1 of B&R Procedure CP-CPM-7.3, Revision 1, require that tools used on ' stainless steel materials shall not be contaminated by use on other j materials. j Contrary to the above, tools used to cut stainless steel flexible conduit j were also used on carbon steel conduit and other items. (446/8612-V-04)
i RESPONSE TO ITEM D (446/8612-V-04) We admit to the violation and the requested information follows:
1. Reason for Violation i The violation resulted from a failure of implementing procedures to adequately specify tool segregation controls. The requirement that, "any tools used on stainless steel materials shall not be contaminated with j particles from other materials," is included in Specification 2323-ES-100, " Electrical Erection Specification," as part of tie general measures for < cleanliness and chemical contamination control. However, these measures were not implemented in any procedure applicable to the electrical field fabrication shop. Construction Procedure CP-CPM-7.3, " General Fabrication - > Procedure" applies only to the activities of the structural tron i fabrication shop. ! 2. Corrective Stens Taken And Results Achieved l t ! To address the specific concerns cited in the Violation, we have performed } an evaluation of the potential effects of cutting stainless steel conduit
! with blades previously used to cut carbon steel. The evaluattort- ! l (documented in memo NE-1297) indicates the following: l i
a) Theaffectedconduitareas(cutsurface)arenotsubject/tostress
i conditions as structural support is provided by the coupling
{ assemblies which contain the conduit ends. i ! b) The conduits are not submerged nor is there any great probability of high humidity or excessive moisture during normal operating l conditions. If enough excessive moisture did collect to develop a galvanic cell, the resultant corrosion would only attack the cut end of the conduit. The cut end, due to the use of coupling i { assemblies, provides no mechanical function. i ! l , _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _

B&R Procedure CP-CPM 4.1, Revision 0, requires that work activities shall be suspended when design drawings and specifications cannot be complied with and a design change shall be requested from engineering. Work may resume after receipt of the approved design change document. , Contrary to the above, examples have been identified with respect to conduit and junction box supports in which work was not suspended when design drawings and specifications could not be complied with, and modifications were made without prior engineering approval and the required appropriate design documents. (446/8612-V-05) RESPONSE TO ITEM E (446/8612-V-05) We admit to the violation and the requested information follows: 1. Reason for Violation ' i j The violation was caused by a failure of electrical construction personnel l to comply with the requirements of CPM-4.1, " Construction Requests for

Contrary to the above: 1. No procedures or instructions existed for Unit 1 paper flow group (PFG) to control design documents (e.g., drawings) issued for extended periods. B&R Procedure CP-CPM-6.3 only specifies control for such documents issued on a daily basis. NRC inspection of 50 design documents issued to the onsite fabrication shop for extended periods found them to be maintained current; however, there were no procedures documenting how this activity was to be accomplished. NRC inspection of the Unit 2 PFG procedures found that the procedures for control of documents issued for extended periods were documented. (445/8615-V-06) RESPONSE TO ITEM F.1 (445/8615-V-06) We admit to the violation and the requested information follows: 1. Reason for Violation The violation was caused by a management oversight in failing to provide specific instructions for the control of design documents issued for extended periods. Please note, general instructions for the instances observed in the finding were provided per Section 3.1.2 of CP CPM 6.3, " Preparation, Approval and Control of Operation Travelers." 2.

Contrary to the above: B&R Procedures CP-CPM-7.3A, Revision 0, and CP-CPM 8.1, Revision 3, did not provide instructions relative to defining what information must be included on written requests to the onsite fabrication shop for fabricated items. For example, the onsite fabrication shop has received requests for , fabricated items on three-part memos that did not specify whether the item i was Q or non-Q, ASME or non-ASME, its location and intended use, and whether it was temporary or permanent. This information is necessary to assure compliance with QA requirements.

Reason for Violation The viciation was the result of inadequacies in Construction Procedure CP- CPM 7.3A, " Material Storage / Identification for Structural Fabrication." By failing to standardize the means by which shop fabricated items were requested, no measures were established to assure adequate quality or technical requirements were implemented during the fabrication process. A preliminary survey of the requests submitted using non standard forms i indicates the non standard form was not generally used for fabrication of
safety-related parts, components or assembly. ! 2. Corrective Steos Taken And Results Achieved ' A review of all fabricated items requested on non standard request forms has been initiated to verify that proper ins)ections were performed and ' material traceability was maintained where t1e fabricated items were installed in quality related systems and components. Nonconformance reports will be initiated in the event discrepancies are identified.

TXX-6250 . Page 19 of 21 ^ NOTICE OF DEVIATION ITEM C f445/8615-D-05 AND 446/8612-D-06) C. Section 4.1 of ISAP No. I.d.1, Revision 2, states that for Phase I, " Training, qualification, certification and recertification files for all electrical QC inspectors, for all current ASME inspectors, and for the , remaining current non-ASME inspectors will be reviewed against project requirements . . . ." to identify those inspectors whose certifications or qualifications were questionable.
In deviation from the above, the ERC Phase I review failed to identify lapses in recertifications of TUGC0 electrical inspectors. ERC Phase I < review also failed to identify that an electrical inspector's i recertification to CP-QP-11.3 did not specify the activities or l restrictions which were applicable to the recertification (445/8615-D-05; ~ 446/8612-D-06). ' RESPONSE TO ITEM C f445/8615-D-05 AND 446/8612-D-06) We adet to the deviation and requested information follows: 1. Raaton for Deviation } ERC has reviewed the NRC concern for the electrical inspector's j certification records and agrees that a lapse had in fact occurred for a
period of approximately eight (8) days for QI-QP-ll.3 28, and approximately six (6) days for QI-QP ll.3-29, 40, and 44. The ERC failure
to ilentify this discrepancy was due to an apparent oversight, therefore, [ a desiation does exist. However, confusion exists as to the exact date of I rece)tification due to the many dates contained on the training forms. ! A deviation does not exist for the identification that an electrical inspe: tor's recertification to CP-QP-ll.3 did not specify the activities ! or restrictions which were applicable to the recertification. ERC identified on the Inspector Certification Evaluation Summary (ICES) the i failure to exclude the requirements of QI-QP-11.3 42 on December 17, 1985. l Based on the ICES, an NCR was prepared (NCR No. E-85-201318) which addressed the failure to exclude QI-QP ll.3-42. i 2. Corrective Stans Taken and Results Achieved ERChaspreparedamemorandum(QA/QCRT5506,datedJanuary 20,1987) addressing lapses in inspector certifications. TU Electric has initiated a generic Non conformance Report, NCR No. M 86 104861 to address breaks in periods of certification. Additionally, the quality training supervisor has initiated a review of the TU Electric non ASME file for certification lapses which includes the aforementioned deviation. .

Section 5.2 of QI-010, Revision 3, states, in part, " Verify that the field s assembly / modifications are complete and in accordance with the applicable . drawings." ' In deviation from the above, NRC inspection of Verification Package No. I- E-EEIN-075, a Unit I diesel generator control panel, revealed that ERC inspectors failed to identify the following: 1. A jam nut was loose on one of the six floor mounting bolts. 2. Sheet 2 of component layout Drawing 52383 did not delineate installed relays R12A and R128 (445/8615-D-10). RESP 01SE TO ITEM D (445/8615-D-10) i We deny the deviation for the reasons that follow: ' l. The loose jam nut is not considered within the scope of QI 010. However, an out-of-scope (005) observation has been prepared and processed. The 005 No. is 1065. 2. Relays 12A and 128 are not shown on Drawing 52383 but are documented on DCA 17854, Rev. 2. The sketches attached to the DCA which show the location of these relays do not specifically identify which relay (12A and 128 are identical) is installed in which side of panel CPI-MEDGEE-01A (left or right). However, the ERC inspector was able to discern the correct panel side. location for relays 12A and 128 by examining the wiring diagrams attached to the DCA. Relay 12A is shown on a wiring diagram as part of the Channel 1 Class IE Start Circuit whereas relay 128 is shown on another wiring diagram as part of the Channel 2 Class IE Start Circuit. The Channel 1 Start Circuit diagram includes the statement " Located in Enclosure Left Side of Panel" the Chanr.el 2 diagram says " Located in Enclosure Right Side of Panel". Thus, the ERC inspector was able to verify dimensional location for relays 12A and 128 in the left and right sides of the panel, respectively, i ) l
